Microscopic thermodynamics or statistical thermodynamics
Macroscopic thermodynamics or classical thermodynamics
A quasi-static process is also called a reversible process
Extensive property: Whose value depends on the size or extent i.e. mass of the system (upper
case letters as the symbols). e.g., Volume, Mass (V, M). If mass is increased, the value of
extensive property also increases. e.g., volume V, internal energy U, enthalpy H, entropy S, etc.
Concept of Continuum
The concept of continuum is a kind of idealization of the continuous description of matter where
the properties of the matter are considered as continuous functions of space variables. Although
any matter is composed of several molecules, the concept of continuum assumes a continuous
distribution of mass within the matter or system with no empty space, instead of the actual
conglomeration of separate molecules.
Describing a fluid flow quantitatively makes it necessary to assume that flow variables
(pressure, velocity etc.) and fluid properties vary continuously from one point to another.
Mathematical descriptions of flow on this basis have proved to be reliable and treatment of fluid
medium as a continuum has firmly become established.
For example density at a point is normally defined as
m
= lim
+0 +
Here + is the volume of the fluid element and m is the mass

One of the factors considered important in determining the validity of continuum model is
molecular density. It is the distance between the molecules which is characterized by mean free
path (). It is calculated by finding statistical average distance the molecules travel between
two successive collisions. If the mean free path is very small as compared with some
characteristic length in the flow domain (i.e., the molecular density is very high) then the gas
can be treated as a continuous medium. If the mean free path is large in comparison to some
characteristic length, the gas cannot be considered continuous and it should be analyzed by the
molecular theory.
In this, Kn is always less than 0.01 and it is usual to say that the fluid is a continuum.
Other factor which checks the validity of continuum is the elapsed time between collisions. The
time should be small enough so that the random statistical description of molecular activity
holds good.

First Law of Thermodynamics
By: S K Mondal Chapter 4
(Q)cycle = (W)cycle or v Q = v W
The summations being over the entire cycle.
Q W = dE
An isolated system which does not interact with the surroundings Q = 0 and W = 0.
Therefore, E remains constant for such a system.
The Zeroth Law deals with thermal equilibrium and provides a means for measuring
temperatures.
The First Law deals with the conservation of energy and introduces the concept of
internal energy.
The Second Law of thermodynamics provides with the guidelines on the conversion heat
energy of matter into work. It also introduces the concept of entropy.
The Third Law of thermodynamics defines the absolute zero of entropy. The entropy of a
pure crystalline substance at absolute zero temperature is zero.
Summation of 3 Laws
Firstly, there isnt a meaningful temperature of the source from which we can get the full
conversion of heat to work. Only at infinite temperature one can dream of getting the full 1
kW work output.
Secondly, more interestingly, there isnt enough work available to produce 0K. In other
words, 0 K is unattainable. This is precisely the Third law.

(b) Will the use of a separating calorimeter, ahead of the throttling
calorimeter, serve the purpose, if at best 5 C degree of superheat is
desirable at the end of throttling? What is the minimum dryness
fraction required at the exit of the separating calorimeter to satisfy
this condition?

t = tsat + 5C = 100 + 5 = 105 C
Then Enthalpy required

expressed as a function of any two others.
For a pure substance undergoing an infinitesimal reversible process

Joule-Kelvin Effect or Joule-Thomson coefficient
The value of the specific heat cp can be determined from pvT data and the JouleThomson
coefficient. The JouleThomson coefficient J is defined as
T
J =
p h
Like other partial differential coefficients introduced in this section, the JouleThomson
coefficient is defined in terms of thermodynamic properties only and thus is itself a property.
The units of J are those of temperature divided by pressure.
A relationship between the specific heat cp and the JouleThomson coefficient J can be
established to write
T p h
p h T = 1
h T p
The first factor in this expression is the JouleThomson coefficient and the third is cp. Thus
1
cp =
J ( p / h )T
With ( h / p )T = 1 / ( p / h )T this can be written as
1 h
cp =
J p T
The partial derivative ( h / p )T , called the constant-temperature coefficient, can be
eliminated. The following expression results:
1 v
cp = T v
J T p
allows the value of cp at a state to be determined using pvT data and the value of the Joule
Thomson coefficient at that state. Let us consider next how the JouleThomson coefficient can
be found experimentally.
The numerical value of the slope of an isenthalpic on a T-p diagram at any point is called the
Joule-Kelvin coefficient and is denoted by J . Thus the locus of all points at which J is zero is
the inversion curve. The region inside the inversion curve where J is positive is called the
cooling region and the region outside where J is negative is called the heating region. So,
Energy Equation
For a system undergoing an infinitesimal reversible process between two equilibrium states,
the change of internal energy is
dU = TdS - pdV
Substituting the first TdS equation
p
dU = Cv dT + T dV pdV
T V
p
= Cv dT + T p dV
T V
if U = (T ,V )
U U
dU = dT + V dV
T V T

V = T T p
T V
This is known as energy equation. Two application of the equation are given below-
nRT
(a) For an ideal gas, p =
V
p nR p
= V =T
T V
U p

V T T
U does not change when V changes at T = C.
U p V
=1
p T V T U T
U p U
= =0
p T V T V T
p U
since 0, =0
V T p T
U does not change either when p changes at T = C. So the internal energy of an ideal gas is a
function of temperature only.
Another important point to note is that for an ideal gas
p
pV = nRT and T p=0
T v
Page 189 of 265
Thermodynamic Relations
By: S K Mondal Chapter 11
Therefore
dU = Cv dT
holds good for an ideal gas in any process (even when the volume changes). But for any other
substance
dU = Cv dT
is true only when the volume is constant and dV = 0
Similarly
dH = TdS + Vdp
V
and TdS = Cp dT T dp
T p
V
dH = C p dT + V T dp

As shown for internal energy, it can be similarly proved from Eq. shown in above that the
enthalpy of an ideal gas is not a function of either volume or pressure.
H H
i.e = 0 and = 0
p T V T
but a function of temperature alone.
Since for an ideal gas, pV = nRT
V
and V T =0
T p
the relation dH = Cp dT is true for any process (even when the pressure changes.)
However, for any other substance the relation dH = Cp dT holds good only when the pressure
remains constant or dp = 0.
(b) Thermal radiation in equilibrium with the enclosing walls processes an energy that depends
only on the volume and temperature. The energy density (u), defined as the ratio of energy to
volume, is a function of temperature only, or

To determine the state of the nitrogen gas in a cylinder two properties are adequate.
A closed vessel containing water and steam in equilibrium: P = 2, C = 1
Therefore, F = 1. If any one property is specified it is sufficient.
A vessel containing water, ice and steam in equilibrium

pressure of 3.5 bar. The exhaust steam mixes with the process steam
before entering the L.P. turbine which develops 1337.5 kW. At the
exhaust the pressure is 0.3 bar, and the steam is 0.912 dry. Draw a line
diagram of the plant and determine (a) the steam quality at the exhaust
from the H.P. turbine, (b) the power developed by the H.P. turbine, and
(c) the isentropic efficiency of the H.P. turbine.
